Now update to 2.10. J It's the current stable release and IIRC 2.9 was
considered experimental.

Subject: [dansguardian] Re: Cannot increase maxchildren (2.9.8.5 on OpenBSD
4.5)








After hours of tweaking kernel parameters, I finally found the ones holding
DansGuardian back. I originally thought the problem was related to sockets
or file descriptors, but it ended up being shared memory. I added the
following lines to /etc/sysctl.conf and I've been able to successfully
increase maxchildren:

kern.shminfo.shmmni=512
kern.shminfo.shmseg=512

Chuck & Mike... Thanks for replying and providing suggestions!

127. The failure occurs at line 2163 in FatCrontroller.cpp. Here are the

to system resources, but I see no indication of the server running low on
memory, CPU, etc. I tried increasing kern.somaxconn from 128 to 256, but
this did not help. Does anyone know of any other limits on OpenBSD that
could be causing this error?
